“Google’s Deaf and hard-of-hearing employee group has 40 members. And Black women, who make up only about 2.4 percent of Google’s US workforce, leave the company at a disproportionately higher rate than women of other races, company data showed last year.”
Google Used a Black, Deaf Worker to Tout Its Diversity. Now She’s Suing for Discrimination
Jalon Hall was featured on Google’s corporate social media accounts “for making #LifeAtGoogle more inclusive!” She says the company discriminated against her on the basis of her disability and race.

A few highlights from my time in Riyadh. 🇸🇦📸✨

Loved sharing the latest on Gemini 2.5 (yes, even the Nano Banana 🍌) and seeing so many people ready to start building.

Thanks for having me, Saudi Arabia🙏!

💥 Avoiding conflict ≠ harmony

I leaned into tension on my team & it worked

More openness, better decisions, stronger outcomes

Design for friction, not fear

What frustrates *you* most about your team? 👇

🔥 Ever noticed how some teams avoid conflict like it’s malware? 💥 But here’s the kicker: 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘁 𝘂𝘀𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝗿. And that fear? It kills innovation, alignment, and real decision-making. I’ve been deep in 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘋𝘺𝘴𝘧𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘛𝘦𝘢𝘮 by @Patrick Lencioni lately. One idea hit me like an alert at 2 a.m. 💡 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘢 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘮. It’s a 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀. That’s how adaptation happens. Over the last few weeks, I made a point of leaning into team tension. Instead of smoothing it over, I surfaced it. And when we made space for real disagreement, something shifted. People opened up. Ownership increased. The outcome? Faster decisions, stronger alignment, better product direction. It wasn’t always comfortable, but it was worth it. The other two big takeaways — peer accountability and leader vulnerability — were just as real. 🎯 For anyone engineering healthy systems (teams, products, orgs): 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘧𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯. 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝘁.

We keep treating AI like it’s a software upgrade. Plug it in, fine-tune the model, boom: transformation. But GenAI isn’t a plugin. It’s a provocation. It doesn’t just automate tasks – it asks who we are, how we decide, what we value. Scaling AI is about scaling people, not just models. You don’t get real adoption without rituals, safety, alignment. You don’t get trust without trustworthiness. 𝙄𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙨𝙠𝙞𝙥 𝙘𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚, 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙖𝙩 𝙥𝙞𝙡𝙤𝙩. And here's the wild twist: While advertising execs are calling for bans on fossil fuel marketing… some GenAI companies are acting like values are optional. The old guard is out-ethic-ing the new kids. That’s not ecosystem engineering. That’s how ecosystems fail. 🧩 𝘞𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘴. 𝗪𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀. And we need them embedded early.
